"Without Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper never would have happened....Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds."

Absolutely! I also think that Brian Wilson was inspired by the Beatles album "Rubber Soul" (or was it "Revolver") to make "Pet Sounds." I guess in just my opinion that I don't consider Sgt. Peppers to be even in the same stratosphere as Pet Sounds.

Smile featured the brilliant and yet maybe too far out there lyrics of Van Dyke Parks. I had a hard time relating to his work as original as it was. Nobody else could write like him I doubt. Just not sure if I thought it was a good fit in a Beach Boys record. I once bought a CD of "Smiley Smile" (the precursor to Smile) and immediately took it back to the music store for a store credit. I absolutely hated it. I agree with your comment on Dennis' work. He was so underrated buried beneath the ultra-talents of Brian and Carl. I liked the rather obscure late '70s Beach Boys efforts on MIU Album and L.A. (Light Album). Not the brilliant Pet Sounds stuff but kind of a really cool sound of where the guys were at that time.

Re: Iup basketball

Some years back IUP had a great entertainment program going called "OnStage" that booked a lot of the great acts that you mentioned.

Now we have the KCAC management who just blows major azz! They are horrible at what they do. They should have good acts streaming through town but they are clueless in how to run a venue. Incompetent idiots should be fired.

Mike Love is a consummate professional entertainer. Everybody always has good things to say about his shows. Too bad two of the Wilson brothers have passed on and everybody else in the band is too busy bringing suit against one another to ever play together.

Man, what's all this crazy talk about the 50th anniversary release of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper album and folks runnin' around talkin' it up as the greatest album ever made? That record couldn't hold a candle to the Beach Boys landmark 1966 "Pet Sounds" album. Not even in the same universe!

SMILE is another tremendous Beach Boys album. Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blues is also worth a listen.

The concert industry has flipped its financial model. In years past acts would do dozens of shows and get a percentage of the cut. Now they get a guaranteed fee regardless of tickets sold.

Re: Iup basketball

I saw the Beach Boys on their last visit to IUP back around 1999 or 2000 in Fisher Auditorium. It's a good concert.

That was a really good era for shows on campus back then. I saw James Brown, The Righteous Brothers, George Carlin, Fastball, etc. Chris Rock and Adam Sandler both did shows at IUP right before they became mega stars. I even saw a washed-up-turned-rocker (of sorts) Vanilla Ice play in the HUB because he didn't sell enough tickets to stay in Fisher.

IUP was actually one of Bobby Hatfield's (Righteous Brothers) last shows before he died from a drug overdose.

I heard the WWE will be back (perhaps yearly) to the KCAC due to the overwhelming success this past winter.

Re: Iup basketball

Yikes. Didn't former star QB Tony Aliucci get in some pretty serious trouble for embezzling or something like that? How to screw people out of money 101 must have been a popular course at IUP in the early to mid 90s.

Tony served several years in federal prison if I have my facts straight. What he did was wrong, but he did pay his debt to society. If he is contrite and has made himself a better man then I would argue that he should be inducted into IUP's Athletic Hall of Fame by virtue of his stellar football career at IUP. Maybe I am in the minority here.

What Taylor did was scumbag all the way. He needs to serve a prison term for his actions. He's not much better than IUP Hall of Famer and current County Commissioner Rodney Ruddock who did this area unspeakable harm with his cowardly lack of leadership during the highly controversial county tax reassessment. Ruddock is the biggest douchebag of them all!

Oh, yeah, on a more positive note-- I hear the Beach Boys are coming to the KCAC on November 16. Tickets go on sale tomorrow if anyone's interested. Only Mike Love and Bruce Johnston will appear from the "original" set. It is a Steelers game night as they are playing the Titans on Thursday night football.

Re: Iup basketball

Remember tonight.

It's the night Cal was reborn.

Just recently announced via Twitter ( @CoachMcBride2 ), VULCANS have added Mt Zion Prep 6'6" guard Phillip Alexander and Temple transfer 6'3" guard Isaiah Lewis. Neither seems to be a game-changer, but it does look like he is searching far and wide for potential. Would really like to see some additional bigs. Time will tell.

Re: Iup basketball

He is still unsigned as far as I'm aware.

He's a diamond in the rough type ... he can play. I'd love to see him come in as a walk-on and see what happens.

These next two weeks or so will be interesting. Grades will be coming out. It becomes Transfer Season Part 2 around the country.

But, unless there's some big news nobody knows about, I'd say Joe's roster for next year is set -- minus the walk-ons.

Anything ever happen with the guy from Saltsburg?
